In 2016, DBS’ carbon emissions across its offices and branches in six key markets (Singapore, Hong Kong, China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan) fell by 4%. This reflects the bank’s ongoing environmentally-friendly efforts, which include reducing air travel by encouraging alternatives such as videoconferencing and online collaboration tools. DBS was also the first bank in Singapore to achieve the Green Mark certification endorsed by the National Environment Agency for its branch network in Singapore. Overall, the bank has received the certification for over 20 branches, with two receiving a Gold Plus Green Mark Award.
The DHL GoGreen policy is part of Deutsche Post DHL Group’s commitment to contribute to the communities and regions in which the company operates, and earlier this year, it announced its goal of reducing all logistics-related emissions to net zero by the year 2050. The GoGreen programme covers all environmental issues including environmental management, waste consumption, and sustainable sourcing. In Singapore, DHL Express tracks its annual carbon emissions and is committed to various green initiatives. It is the official logistics partner of the RENEW programme, Singapore’s most extensive and inclusive e-waste recycling initiative.
